    I think they would be OK for backing but I wouldn't use them in a top.

    Depends what other fabrics you are going to use and how much of these.

    I like the first ones, the damask the, the dots, little flowers & the design right under the flowers (in all the colors). Personal I could see mixing and matching them all in a really sweet baby quilt

    Other than the checks and plaids, they don't inspire me. Sorry!

    I think they are very pretty. Used with other fabrics in QUILTS (plural) I think they would be beautiful. I wouldn't use them all in the same quilt. Besides you are the only one that you have to satisfy, not the co-workers. Since you find them attractive, you will make some very pretty quilts with them.

    QKO... you must have seen them even before I posted them... 'cause you correctly identified the maker!

    Seriously... this is a group that I would want to see on cloth before ordering. Mostly to know if the gray and cream looks nice together or taupe-y drab.

    I did find one co-worker that liked them. Oh, dear. That's only a 20% approval rating. :|

    Me, too. ;-) I also like the Fleur-de-lys, and the little flowers and ones below them in the second to last post you made. I'm not crazy about the gray fabrics. It's just me, but I don't particularly like gray fabrics. Guess I need to step out of my comfort area! :D

    Wow, I hardly ever dislike a fabric line but you may have found one. Little too drab for my tastes.
